GNH India Firefights Industrial Poisoning

Stocking of industrial
antidotes is a critical aspect of hospital care as patients that come in with
poisoning or toxicity of industrial affluent requires immediate medical
aid. It is in the ‘Golden Hour’ i.e. the critical 60 minutes after a poisoning
that the patient should be provided the prompt medical and surgical treatment
that will prevent the death of the patient. However, various surveys and
reports have shown that hospitals and pharmacies do not have adequate stocks of
antidotes to treat cases of poisoning and require the help of distributors to
provide the medicines needed. One such company, GNH India is a catalyst that
ensures that life-saving medicines reach the appropriate places within a short
period of time; sometimes in a matter of a few hours.

The company has seen a
rapid increase in demand for industrial antidotes like methylene blue, Calcium
EDTA, and pralidoxime to patients in locations like the states of Maharashtra,
Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. “The rise in the demand for these
antidotes has a direct correlation with the substantive increase in
industrialization and urbanization. While most states have put a heavy foot on
accelerating these development projects; little to nothing is being done with
regard to the human cost” says Dr. Piyush Gupta, Director of GNH India
Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

The shortcomings are
two-fold- one lies in the insufficient safety measures at the project site and
the other in the lack of proactively stocking medicines that are life-saving in
hospitals. About 48,000 workers in India lose their lives due to occupational
accidents, of which the construction sector contributes 24.20% of the
fatalities, says a recent report based on a study conducted by the British
Safety Council last year.

Commenting on this
predicament, Dr. Piyush Gupta, Director of GNH India Pharmaceuticals Ltd. said,
“The number of orders received by us from all over India reveals the state of
shortage of antidotes for industrial poisoning, in our country and our hospitals.
Despite having international standards in place by the WHO – ILO in addition to
a policy, a system, and a program on occupational safety and health,
occupational hazards have been a neglected area in our country. Various
hindrances like administrative difficulties, lack of infrastructure, and
paucity and ineffectiveness of the guidelines pose a challenge in making
the antidotes available for the patients in need.”

GNH India, with its
principal that at least rudimentary medical aid reached those who needed it the
most; irrespective of geographical boundaries or political conflict. With its
pioneer footing, it has proven to be a succor for the country's vexatious cases
of industrial poisoning with an effort towards drawing attention apropos the
rising concern of the insufficient stocking of the antidotes in the hospitals.
